A black Volkswagen Golf GTI hatchback made the news recently after it and another vehicle were caught on camera weaving through traffic and getting involved in an accident.

The accident at around 9pm on Wednesday night, July 29 occurred along the Central Expressway towards Seletar Expressway (SLE) after Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5.

It also involved another van, which overturned in the bushes.

The video of the CTE accident also showed a person, believed to be one of the two car drivers at the scene, being confronted by the person filming the video, as well as by others.

The accident resulted in the van driver and his passenger to be taken conscious to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, the police said, and two men, aged 30 and 41, arrested for dangerous driving.
